Lack of urination control during the night in adults is an unsettling phenomenon but has a solution. Unintentional bed wetting cannot be controlled voluntarily at any age. It requires several intervention measures recommended by your primary health care provider. They are simple and do not require a lot of resources. The results are long lasting and will offer the comfort of a normal life.
Some cases of voiding have genetic linkages but still have a solution. Treatment of nocturnal enuresis begins when a patient learns to monitor fluid intake through the day. The idea is to reduce consumption from late afternoon into the evening. This means that there will be reduced need to void in the course of the night.
Reduction in fluid intake is dangerous for your health. The best behavioral approach is to change the timing to give room for voiding before you go to bed. Bladder volume training is a process where an individual takes enough fluids and restrains from voiding. This is done during the day. Restraining increases the volume of your bladder besides giving you more control on voiding.
There is a bed wetting alarm system that wakes you up when you get wet from the first drops. The device is attached to the underwear or pad used when sleeping. The alarm will wake you up so that you can proceed with urination in the lavatory.
A patient using the alarm system requires commitment and motivation. Getting used to this mechanism requires several days. Its disadvantage lies in reduction of bladder volume which means that you will wake up more often in the night. It has been very effective on several instances some of which were very severe.
Medical options complement behavioral therapy or may be used on their own. One risks becoming dependent on them such that the body can only function when you have taken the drugs. No medication should be taken unless the doctor has advised and prescribed. The prescription is done after considering side effects and the severity of your case. This will determine the dosage.
Surgery should be the last resort after all other attempts have failed. It is preferred that you try the non invasive methods before opting for surgery. The risks of any surgical approach should be discussed before the process begins. Surgical options aim at manipulating the functioning of the bladder.
Bed wetting can be managed effectively alongside your chosen treatment method. Some of the options available include use of mattress covers that are easier to clean. Some mattresses can absorb while others are made of vinyl. Other mattresses are waterproof and will make your experience better. Sheet protectors provide comfort at night and protect the skin from irritating reactions.
Absorbent briefs are modified under wears that will help you avoid leaks. They come in reusable and disposable versions. If you are prone to irritation, it is worth considering the disposable variety. Skin products are used to avoid damage on the skin through irritation. They range from soaps to lotions as well as skin cleaning agents.
